Poorly Made Dwarf

Male, Child, Elaborate Attire, Muscular

Skill: 5 Stamina: 14 Luck: 7

Dwarfs are known for being the finest artisans of the million spheres. Give a dwarf a rock and they will make gold, give a dwarf a boulder and they will make a dwarf. You were supposed to be the finest expression of dwarfy craftsmanship, a masterpiece, a brand new dwarf like those made by the old masters, but you were imperfect and abandoned.

Special

Dwarfs may eat gems and rare metals as a food replacement. You in fact far prefer the taste of rare minerals to mundane food. Dwarfs are genderless. You are immune to all compulsions that play on a creature's desire for the opposite sex. This also means you don't have sexual organs. Instead of urinating you excrete through sweating, thus explaining your odour. Other dwarfs will completely ignore you as though you were a piece of furniture or somebody's abandoned hat. Very occasionally they may openly examine and comment thoughtfully to themselves on your unforgivable flaws, possibly while marking areas for improvement on your body with a grease pen. To non-dwarfy eyes you probably look like any other dwarf. +4 sneak vs dwarfs.
